I haven’t really seen too many lines with a lot of time at the end of the month. Is this standard for the way the lines are built and the carryover?
Any suggestions?
Depends on what base your in but if you have the passes you should be fairly senior in ORD, LGA, holding a decent line in DFW. Bid with at least 2-3 days off at the end of the month. Then look for a line with the first 3-7 days off. Usually there are about 30-35 per bid packet. So you could maybe hold it in DFW. For sure in ORD and LGA. Also trip trade. It can be done.
